Replacement converter suggestions?

We are replacing a nonworking converter on our 2010 Seville 36SB.
Any suggestions?

When I replace ours - WF-9865 65 Amp Power Converter

Automatic three-stage battery charging maintains your battery’s life with three nominal voltage output modes: 13.2 Vdc “float” mode, 13.6 Vdc “absorption” mode, and a 14.4 Vdc “bulk” charge mode. Electronic current limiting automatically shuts down the power during overload or short-circuit conditions.

I would go with the same model (9800 series). You may want to increase the rating slightly.

The 65 amp unit at Amazon

and it's made in the USA. Cheaper too.

Did you check the fuses first before determining it was bad? My WFCO has two 45 amp fuses on the bottom of the unit that I've blown before.

Fuses were ok

Yes, thanks but the fuses were good. Had the converter checked and it is bad unfortunately. Ordered a replacement and waiting on it.
